The process of opening a current account can now be initiated by companies in Startup Village by filling up an online form, and can be completed without having to visit the branch. The exclusive business card offered by HDFC Bank is customized, bearing the Startup Village branding on it.

“It is India’s young who are disrupting traditional business models, driving innovation and creating value in a fast changing business paradigm. We are partnering with Startup Village who represent India’s young and innovative minds to enable them realize their dreams. The initiative not only offers greater ease of doing business, but also highlights the customer’s association with a prestigious initiative such as Startup Village,” said Navin.

“Customer focus and product leadership are two of the core values of HDFC Bank. Enabling the e-opening of current accounts is yet another step in living these values. We want to be active partners in a new digital India,” said Nitin.

“India till now does not have a bank equivalent to the Silicon Valley Bank which offers next generation banking products for technology startups in Silicon Valley. HDFC is now moving fast into that league and the innovative products launched by the bank will be highly beneficial for the startups in India,” Sanjay said.
